The Effect of Benomyl, Sodium Hypochlorite, and Controlled Atmospheres upon the Incidence of Black Speck of Stored Cabbage

Year: 1983

Type: article

Abstract: In the 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 seasons, stored cabbage ( Brassica oleracea L., Capitata group) developed symptoms of the disorder black speck. Dipping in 500 mg/liter benomyl and 95 or 190 mg/liter chlorine (as sodium hypochlorite) solutions increased susceptibility to the development of black speck, but control of ethylene levels and an atmosphere of 3% O 2 + 5% CO 2 had little effect. A slight difference was noted in cultivar susceptibility and in one season a dip in water appeared to decrease the occurrence of the disorder.
